Sun Apr 18 20:22:20 GMT 1999 MKIII Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Sun Apr 18 20:36:00 GMT 1999 OK, I finished adjusting the Spar guider so that the images are occulted as well as possible. I started the scans before I finished so that I could see if the scans were changing. The MKIII scans look good, but there is a semicircular region of yellowish pixels out near the far edge of the MKIV scans centered around the NE streamers, this was there since this morning and is what prompted me to center the occulter, apparently it has nothing to do with occulting since the occulter position change didn't affect the region as far as I can tell. PICS COMMENT: Sun Apr 18 20:43:49 GMT 1999 I had to adjust the occulting for this due to the change in Spar guiding.

I can't find our old occulting disk chart but the lowk disk is size #1 and the regular disk went from #5 to #7.

I still need to remove the strike plate from the dome door and carve back the door casing so the door closes easier, and I'll have to remount the door stop that they removed and didn't modify and replace after modifying the inner dome door.
